The ex-husband doted on his concubine and killed his wife!The princess turned around and remarried t

Qin Shuhuang left the big study room in the front yard and led people out of Cao's mansion.

As General Cao said, the Cao family sent two teams of elite troops to guard the carriage.

Qin Shuhuang and Liu Renren rode in the same carriage.

In the carriage, Liu Renren frowned: "Just now in the Cao family's study, I cooperated with His Highness, but does His Highness really want to hand over the matter of trade between the two countries to the Cao family?"

Qin Shuhuang handed Liu Renren the snow pear and white fungus soup that he had just cooked in the morning.

It's bitterly cold in the north and the weather is even drier. You need to drink more soup to moisten your lungs and relieve coughs.

"Uncle Liu, you and I have known each other for more than half a year. Don't you still understand who I am? How can I leave such an important matter to the Cao family? It's just to deal with them temporarily."

"That……"

Qin Shuhuang interrupted Liu Renren, "Uncle Liu, don't worry, the Beidi Royal Court is not an iron plate at all. The cracks have already formed. We only need to pry open the cracks during this trip. When the time comes, the Cao family will fall into this crack together." "

Liu Renren was surprised. Even he didn't know any news about Beidi Royal Court. How did the eldest princess know about it?
However, he did not ask further whether the royal family had any other special means and channels.

When Qin Shuhuang said this, he felt a lot more relaxed. He took a sip of the snow pear and white fungus soup, which suddenly felt sweet and moist, and he sighed happily.

Qin Shuhuang picked up the tea cup and took a sip, but the smile on his lips was not as pure as Liu Renren's.

The reason why she knew that the Beidi Royal Court was divided into two parts was because Gu Hongchao showed off to her after being imprisoned in his previous life.

Gu Hongchao's devilish voice echoed in her mind.

"It turns out that you princesses are all bitches. It doesn't matter if you like me. The fifth princess actually likes me too! Don't you know? She even gave birth to a child for me. She is more blessed than you! My eldest princess, Your Highness !Speaking of it, she is quite capable and can actually mediate between the two major forces in Beidi..."

The snow pear and white fungus soup in his hand was shaken by the carriage and some of it was poured into his hand. Only then did Qin Shuhuang recover from the painful memory.

Shilan quickly took the pear soup from Qin Shuhuang's hand and put it aside, and anxiously wiped her hands with a handkerchief, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was opened from the outside, and Xie Xuanye appeared with a worried face, "Your Highness? Is there something wrong?"

Qin Shuhuang didn't want Xie Xuanye to worry, so he forced a smile to Xie Xuanye. It was a smile, but the paleness on his face could not be hidden from Xie Xuanye's eyes, "I'm fine, I was just distracted for a while."

Xie Xuanye nodded slightly and gently lowered the car curtain.

At this time, the Cao family guard outside the carriage reminded, "Your Highness, we have arrived in the outer city."

Xiagong City is divided into two inner and outer cities, like two concentric circles nested together.

The outer city was expanded after the inner city radiated outwards. The inner city has a much longer history than the outer city.

The inner city is a military city, not big, and most of the residents are military families. The outer city is where the common people live.

Various business activities are also held in the outer city.

In recent years, the connection between inner and outer cities has increased, and there is no obvious difference anymore.

When Dawu and Beidi officially open up trade, I am afraid that the structure of Xia Gong City will change even more.

Going from the inner city to the outer city is like going from a quiet courtyard to the fireworks of the city.

Even though tomorrow is New Year's Eve, the streets are still very lively.

Many shops are still doing business today.

However, compared with when we entered the city yesterday, there were far fewer pedestrians on the streets.

Qin Shuhuang stopped the carriage, put on his curtain hat, and prepared to visit the shops on both sides of the streets of Xiagong City in person.

In this important border city, like Beidi, what is most lacking is not meat, but food.

The price of coarse grains here is more than ten times higher than in the capital.On the contrary, dried meat, leather goods, dry goods, and dairy products are quite cheap.

Qin Shuhuang went from shop to shop and bought whatever he liked. Soon the carriage was full.

The housekeeper of the Cao family who followed Qin Shuhuang rushed to pay.

Seeing that the Cao family's butler was so attentive, Qin Shuhuang asked Shilan not to pay any money, but to pay all the bills for the Cao family's butler.

After walking down a street, Qin Shuhuang felt a little tired. When he saw a teahouse next to the street, he took people in.

The teahouse is run by a young couple.

When Shilan, who was following Qin Shuhuang, saw Ruihe wearing a coarse blue floral dress, her eyes almost popped out...

At this time, Ruihe was calculating accounts behind the counter in a dignified manner, really like a female shopkeeper of a teahouse.

Song Yiqiu, dressed as a teahouse owner, stepped forward to greet the guests with a smile.

"This noble man, there is a seat upstairs. Please take it upstairs."

Qin Shuhuang nodded lightly, as if he didn't know Song Yiqiu and Ruihe at all.

The second floor is said to be a private room, but it is quieter. It is also a main room with one bay.

There is a square hole in the middle with a fence. Sitting by the fence, you can see the storyteller on the stage on the first floor who is telling a story.

Refreshments were soon served.

The business of this tea house is very good. The first floor is almost full at this time, and the second floor is also full because of their group.

There were also some people who had no money to come in to drink tea and stood at the door to hear Mr. Shu’s story.

Qin Shuhuang asked the Cao family steward for the details of the teahouse.

The steward of the Cao family smiled and said: "Go back to your highness, this is an old teahouse that has been in business for more than ten years. It was originally an old couple. Two months ago, the proprietress was in poor health, so the youngest son and the youngest son from the hometown were moved to the house. My wife called me to take over the teahouse.

This young couple is also filial and smart. It has only been a month since they started the business, and the teahouse is already running smoothly.

It was really cold in winter, so the young couple let the old couple rest in the backyard while they opened the door to do business alone.

It's great now. The old couple, Song and Song, can just relax and take care of themselves in peace!If my daughter-in-law adds another brother to the old couple next year, it will be perfect! "

Qin Shuhuang raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Song Yiqiu and Ruihe to be lurking in Xia Gong City, but she underestimated them.

The storyteller downstairs understood the essence of the chapter and ended it right at the highlight. The audience in the teahouse was so excited that they "oohed" and urged the storyteller to say another paragraph.

A man dressed as a rich man even rewarded him with five taels of silver.

There are rules in the teahouse. As long as the reward exceeds five taels at a time, the storyteller can break the rules and tell another paragraph.

There was a scream, and the storyteller's voice rang in the teahouse again.

When everyone's attention was on the storyteller downstairs, Qin Shuhuang stood up and walked to the backyard where the woman's palace was, accompanied by Shilan.

Butler Cao glanced at the direction Qin Shuhuang left. He was a man and it was difficult to follow him at this time.

I couldn't help but regret a little, why I didn't ask a steward to follow me when I left the house.

The guest room used by the woman is a side room in the backyard.

Shilan accompanied Qin Shuhuang into the side room, and Ruihe walked out from behind the screen. (End of chapter)
